Winning London Page #4

- Mr. Holmes.

- Ms. Watson.

It seems, excuse the expression...

...my kids kicked a little booty today.

They seem to be coming up to speed

quite nicely.

Something I should mention, Mr. Holmes.

The judges award points

on the integrity of the team members...

...as well as their ability to,

how do you call it, ''kick booty.''

Something you might want to mention

to your delegates.

Point taken.

- Should we?

- Sure.

You, want a soda or something?

Do you want me to teach

you how to slow dance?

Sure.

Excuse me, your sister says

this dance belongs to me.

All right, that's cool.

Hard to explain, but I just screwed up

a major moment for my sister.

I'm going to have to

make this up to her somehow.

Well is there anything I can do to help?

- Haven't we seen enough museums?

- Es.

- Enough monuments?

- Es.

- Enough...

- Yes!

- Well then, what are we doing?

- Shopping.

Shopping? And not just shopping...

...shopping in style.

Ladies.

Looks like Chloe snagged herself

a Prince Charming.

Chloe wins again.

She always gets what she wants.

What about you,

you don't get what you want?

It just seems like whatever I want is just...

...out of my reach.

By about 2 or 3 inches.

- So your sister's got it bad for Brian then?

- Is it that obvious?

The drooling thing's kind of a giveaway.

So what about you two?

Do you get along?

As long as we're not in the same room.

We're very different.

She likes to have fun

and hang out with boys.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

We'd better get back.

The delegates' reception

is at our house today.

Father'll grill me about where I've been.

James.

Es, father?

Where have you been gallivanting off

this morning?

The conference delegations

will be here in an hour.

I was showing some friends around.

A girl?

Es, from the American team.

James, really...

...it's always a mistake to

get involved with a...

...competitor.

- Father, please.

- Especially when you're from such...

...different backgrounds.

You understand what I am saying?

Completely.

First shopping, now a tea party.

This is so ruining my image.

James lives in a national monument?

Rach, this is his house.

Man, dude's got some serious coinage!

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Sponsors and delegates.

Welcome to Browning Manor.

It is our pleasure to host this reception...

...on behalf of the International Model.

United Nations Competition.

And if you'd care to join us

on the polo field, then we can begin...

...with the afternoon's entertainment.

Please follow me, this way.

Lord Brian, please follow me

this way to the polo grounds...

...as we make our way past

the tea and crumpets.

All right team. Team, cut it.

Let's bring it in. Dylan, let's go.

Lord Browning's been nice enough

to host this reception for us.

- I feel a ''but'' coming.

- Dylan!

You said you felt a ''butt'' coming.

I didn't want to disappoint you.

Dylan, wrap it up, right here.

Guys this is not just a reception.

This is part of the game.

We have judges deducting points

if they don't like what they see.

Wherever you go, whatever you do,

act like ladies and gentlemen.

Can you do that? Bring it in.

Excuse me.

- That's disgusting.

- Excuse me. What? I said excuse me.

I said it.

Dylan, you and I need to have a talk.

Are you having trouble listening?

Hope you enjoy it, anyway.

Good to see you.

The manor was built around

the 16th century by William Browning...

...my great, great, great grandfather.

- We appreciate your hospitality.

- Quite sure. Hope you enjoy it.

Our house is bigger

than my whole school.

That's actually just the stable.

Kidding.

So have you ever been to a polo match?

No, but my dad wears the shirts.

Es, so does mine.

It's really good fun.

I love it. It's just up here to the left.

So this is how the other half lives.

You mean how the other one-tenth

of one percent lives.

Looks good.

Brian, what are you doing?

What do you mean?

Coach said we're supposed

to keep our pinkies up when drinking tea.

Other pinky.

The football team

cannot find out about this.

Guys, you'd think that...

...with a place like this they'd be able

to afford normal-size sandwiches.

They're called tea sandwiches.

More like teeny-weenie sandwiches.

Guys, remember what coach said, okay?

We're being judged on our demeanor.

What? Youre saying I don't have class?

Let's go watch a polo game.

We're live on the polo network,

all polo, all the time.

James running down the field.

That boy's got game.

James has the ball.

This kid can sure "polo-ize"?

Can't he, Chuck? He sure can.

He's got nothing to "a-polo-gize" for.

Three's got the ball, he takes it away.

He's got a breakaway.

He's dribbling down field.

He shoots. He shoots.

He scores!

We'll be right back

after these few messages.

What did you think?

Nice moves, but why did you back off?

You had him.

You can ride a player off,

but you can't charge.

It's against the rules.

Polo is a game of rules, not loopholes.

Do I hear the cry of yesterday's sore loser?

I'm just saying,

unlike most of your American pastimes...

...Polo is a finesse sport.

No, football, baseball,

basketball, those are sports.

This is just croquet on horses.

Well, then. Youre so sure of yourself...

...would you like to give it a go?

Is this one of those play-to-win things?

I thought so.

Ball is again in play.

Now on the field is Chloe Lawrence,

polo's rookie of the year.

She's got a shot at it. She winds up.

She really winds up.

She lets loose.

That's not good!

Hello, can I have my mallet back, please?

Flying mallets.

That ought to play well with the judges.

- We finished then?

- Finished?

That was just a warm up.

James has a breakaway,

he's certain to score.

But wait, here comes Chloe

out of nowhere.

She steals the ball.

Stolen by Chloe. That was amazing!

She's got a breakaway.

Chloe's got the ball...

...Chloe drives, Chloe shoots...

...she scores!

This is the best polo match I've ever seen.

This is the only polo match

I've really ever seen.

Nothing but croquet on horses.

Americans rule!

Piece of cake!

How long you guys been

playing this game anyway?

So much for decorum.

And I was worried about my pinkies.

Sorry, James, but I play to win.

Chloe, sometimes you win one thing,

and you lose another.

But James, I thought...

It was just a game!

Delegates, welcome to Day 3

of the conference.

Previously we learned

about persuasive presentation of ideas...

... and that creativity

can sometimes make all the difference.

Today we will be discussing

crisis negotiations.

Everybody freeze!

My, I see we have some visitors.

You come with me!

- Take me!

- Okay.

Let's go.

That was awesome.

You have just witnessed

a mock political kidnapping.

You will be contacted shortly

with demands and instructions.

Your objective is to negotiate

the peaceful return of the hostages.

Good luck, delegates.

Check it out, video games.

Hold it right there.

What exactly are we supposed to do here?
